NJNA hosted Kelly Starke of Starke Art Designs to teach ornament finishing workshops in October of 2023.  The Basic Level Workshop was for a round needlepoint ornament while the Intermediate Level Workshop was for a shaped needlepoint ornament.  The Basic Level Workshop was in the morning and the Intermediate Level Workshop in the afternoon. Both classes filled up with most people (about 15) taking both sessions.

Thanks to Kelly and her helper, we learned a lot and were able to finish our ornaments. It certainly made us appreciate the time and effort that goes into finishing. Here are some of the finished ornaments.
